Rappahannock News, April 29, 1982

V If 33rd YEAR, NO. 17 USPS 45558C 10 Pages THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 20' Draft Budget Calls For 25% Hike In Local Taxes B> BAPHXE HUTCHINSOIN Kappahannork New* Staff VI filer The Rappahannock supervisors started "sharpening their knives" on Monday in preparation for tackling a preliminary 198283 budget of S3.4 million, a total that calls for a hefty 25 percent hike in local taxes despite drawing on $140,000 from county surplus funds. The proposed budget, which reflects all departmental requests as submitted to the board, shows an increase of about 16 percent over the current year's $2.9 expenditures. County accountant Wally Cox noted that revenue from state and federal sources will not keep pace with the proposed jump in expenditures, leaving any upward change to be covered by a corresponding upward change in property taxes. The preliminary budget requires a tax rate of 40 cents per $100 of fair market value assessment. For 1981-82, taxes were applied on the old discounted assessments at a $5.30 rate. Under the old system, the tax rate necessary to support the preliminary 1982-83 budget would be $6.60, according to Cox. Conversely, if this year’s taxes had been based on the new 100 percent fair market value assessments, the 198182 rate would have been 32 cents per $100, the accountant said. $2.5 Million For Schools The lion’s share of the draft budget, $2,548,365, is slated for the county's public schools. The total represents a $358,879 increase in school expenses over the current year. Cox projects that the increase will be partially balanced by a $110,000 jump in federal and state school revenue, leaving $248,879 to come from local coffers. A portion of that amount—$90,000—is earmarked for construction of the new combination central office and bus garage, an expenditure to be covered with money left over in the current school budget added to proceeds from the recent bus. shop condemnation suit with the highway department. Therefore, Cox explained, the actual increase in school operational costs which will have to be funded by 1982-83 taxes is approximately $150,000. Before Cox arrived with the draft of the county's 1982-83 budget. the supervisors held their advertised public hearing on proposed school expenditures for the coming year. Besides school administrators and (Continued on Page 3) Fire On The Mountain By THKRKSA RKY NOLDS K/I|»i»*h«nn..rk Staff H ril«*r Fighting fire with fire was one method used to control a forest fire that burned west of Washington in the Big Devils Stairs canyon from early Saturday afternoon until Monday morning’s rain dampened the last smoking stumps. Assistant Chief Park Ranger Randy Baynes said that a crew of park rangers and specially- trained volunteers burned off the fuel remaining between the canyon fire and the edge of the fire line. "This stopped the fire from spreading." Baynes said. "If we can eliminate the fuel, we can contain fire damage.” Baynes said that dry winds had turned the newly-emerging leaves into paper-dry fuel for a fire that burned out of control over sixty-five acres apparently from an illegal campfire in the Devil's Stairs canyon. Baynes said that Park Officials were investigating the incident and had a few leads on suspects seen in the area shortly before the fire was spotted. Baynes said that the fire alarm was turned in about 1:00 on Saturday, April 24 from area people noticing the smoke at about the same time park rangers spotted it. The Washington fire company responded to the blaze but Baynes said that the rugged area was impossible to reach by hose or by vehicle. On Sunday, many Harris Hollow residents awoke to a cloud of smoky haze, as the fire spread to within a quarter-acre of Rappahannock private property to the south. Firefighters were battling the blaze in twelve-hour shifts, making the one-hour walk into the area both from the Harris Hollow Devils Stairs access and . the Park-owned ridge above the fire area. Besides the controlled burning, Bavnes said that the fire was fought with water brought in five-gallon tanks, on the backs of fire fighters and w ith the construction of a fire line built from north to south on the west side of the canyon. The other three sides of the burning area were bordered by streams, Baynes said. The ranger added that park policy is to dig a few' fire ditches as possible. “The deep cuts scar the land in a much more permanent way (Continued on Page 3) Notice The deadline for news and advertising copy is 6:00 Tuesday evening.

They are (from left) Charlie Jenkins, Taylor Updike, Brad Fisher, Treasurer, Newbill Miller, Mayor, Dorothy Clater, Town Clerk. Dorothy Hawkins and C. E. Giles. Tuesday. May 4 is the day that Washington residents will vote for their representatives. Present Town Council By THERESA REA NOI.DS Rappahannock %*•»*•» Staff W rilrr When Washington residents to go the courthouse to vote next Tuesday, they will be handed a ballot bearing the names of the present six couil members and mayor. No other town resident has qualified, although there will be an opportunity to write in a candidate. Mayor Newbill Miller said that the council does not perceive this possibility as a threat: “No, this is not a threat," he said. "We welcome write-in opposition from any candidate who wants to serve the town." Miller, running for his third term as mayor of the town, briefly reviewed some of the accomplishments of the present council. In one of the busiest two-year terms in the history of the town, the present council has: - Formulated the town’s first comprehensive plan; - Established the first subdivision ordinance; Revised the zoning regulations; - Installed an excellent water source; - Purchased through a trade a building to serve as the future Washington Ton Hall at no cost to the town. “this is in addition to providing the normal services to citizens in Washington," the mayor said. Miller said that many of the council's accomplishments were made possible by previous councils who managed the town business “with caution and frugality." Miller, a Washington farmer and realtor, has served the council and town as mayor since 197b. He said that he was motivated by civic responsibility to seek reelection: “I feel that I am qualified to help the town," he said. Miller noted that willingness to work hard without much recognition and a tolerance for taking and following up on complaints were necessary for the mayor's job. "I’ve had a lot of experience in handling Polls Open Washington Town Council elections are scheduled for Tuesday, May 4. All residents of Washington who are registered voters are eligible to vote at the court house from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the polls in the registrars office. complaints and reconciling differences," he said. Dorothy P. Clater is also completing six years of service to the town. She serves as town clerk, not an elected position, and was born in Washington. Clater is an assistant cashier at the Rappahannock National Bank. Clater said that she likes serving the people of the town and, has a strong commitment to the town's future. Urging from neighbors prompted C. E. (Skippy) Giles to run for the council six years ago and the same public pressure has compilled him to seek reelection twice. Giles is the proprietor of the Washington Cash Store. He is a native of the town and has been especially interested in the upgrading of the town water system. Charles R. Jenkins, the caretaker of the town's water system, joked that he first ran tor council 15 years ago, "since 1 had to come anyway to report on the water system." Jenkins is a retired government mechanic but the severe water problems of the past year gave him an almost full-time job for a while.

After walking through the jail with sheriff W. A. Buntin, they authorized supervisor Hubert Gilky to begin working with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner on plans for improvements. Preliminary ideas suggested by the board members focus on a two or three room addition as an alternative to extensive renovation of the section of the 150-year-old building now used as living quarters for the correctional officer. The decision to provide jail space here was motivated by Fauquier sheriff Luther Cox’s announcement last month that his county could no longer accept Rappahannock prisoners due to overcrowding. Sheriff Buntin heard the same story from other localities as he checked all jails in a 50 mile radius. He told the supervisors last week that the nearest correctional facilities with empty beds are in Shenandoah a'nd r Albemarle counties and that both will accept Rappahannock prisoners only on a day-to-day basis as lone as space, is available. On April 13. officials from the State Department of Corrections inspected the county’s lock-up (now limited to 24-hour detention) and came up with a ballpark estimate of $150,000 to bring the building up to minimum jail standards. But the supervisors think the work can be done for less, particularly if an addition is substituted for renovation of the jailer’s two-story living quarters. State Funding? The county may be able to secure state funds to defray part of the expense. Amendments to the Virginia Code which take effect July 1 provide for reimbursement to localities of up to $100,000 not to exceed half the cost of the project for jail renovation and enlargement. While the only money in this category of the state's budget for the coming two years is reportedly earmarked for a specific project, money may still be available in the 1980-82 budget.

In Zoning Law Revisions Planners Propose Flexibility For Flood Plain The rough draft of Rappahannock's revised zoning ordinance will include changes in flood plain regulations that will allow at least limited development in Sperryville. At Wednesday's meeting of the county planning commission, Dick McNear reviewed a few final proposals before he compiles the rough draft of the zoning ordinance for presentation at the commission’s May 19 session. “It seems to me that you should go by soils (to delineate a flood plain district) but then in a village zone, allow residential development by spceial permit.” With this approach, he said, development requests in the village of Sperryville could be considered on a case-by-case basis. McNear added that conditions at tached to special permits could ensure compliance with federal regulations on flood plain development. Charles Estes, the supervisors' representative on the commission and a resident of Sperryville, proposed that 'commercial uses allowed in flood plain also be expanded so long as the use does not include bathroom facilities. "I’ll be flexible if the sewage is taken care of but we shouldn't allow any septic systems in flood plain soils.” commissioner Newbill Miller responded. “To be frank, if you put a septic field in flood plain soil, nine months out of the year, you’re putting sewage directly into a waterway." McNear noted. Separate Class “As far as flood plain goes, t we could put Sperryville in a class by itselt and throw some (permitted) uses in (the zoning ordinance," suggested Estes. McNear explained that was his purpose in proposing that flood plain development be limited to existing villages and settlements and controlled by spejcial use permit. Sperryville would be the only flood plain area in the county to fall into that category. Noting that Sperryville is expected to have a sewer system in the near future, the commissioners acknowledged that soil type ceases to be the critical factor in flood plain development once septic fields are no longer used. By consensus, McNear was authorized to allow flexibility for flood plain development in the zoning ordinance draft as long as septic field sewage disposal is avoided. Historic District The commissioners also agreed to add an historic district to the list of zoning categories in the revised ordinance. “That doesn’t mean you have to adopt any boundaries...but the classification is there if you need it,” McNear said. He noted that property owners in such a district can qualify for federal tax breaks for renovation work, a factor which may give impetus to preservation of historic structures. In addition, the commissioners okayed changes to the ordinance’s current provision for multi-family uses in an agriculture zone with a special use permit. "Tljat sure could open Pandora’s box.” said McNear. He suggested that if multi-family uses are to be allowed at all in an agricultural zone, they be limited to duplex or triplex structures with specific standards set out as well. McNear reported that the rough draft of the whole zoning ordinance (except for a section on definitions) will be ready in three weeks, in time for the commissioners' May meeting. "With that, it will be something you can sit down, go through and nitptck." The county resident and professional planner with neighboring Fauquier had one final comment. After spending the past year working on the zoning ordinance revision. “If you would ask me to do this again. I'd tell you to go fly a kite!”

Mrs. Keyser was born in Rappahannock County and has lived here for all of her 78 years. She and her husband Aubrey reside at The Oaks, a few miles from the town of Washington. She represents the fourth generation of her family to live in a house that was originally built as an Episcopal Rectory before the Revolutionary War and added on to over the years. Mrs. Keyser taught school for 53 years: 7 years in Front Royal. 13 in Washington, and 33 in Sperryville. Her memories of teaching rural children and the stories handed down to her by her parents provide a unique perspective on what Rappahannock life was like years ago. This is the first part of a series based on Mrs. Keyser's presentation. Edited By T. REYNOLDS “Most of the early large landowners here had indentured servants, and they also had slaves. These were the ones that had so much land: someone might have a stretch of land from here to the mountains. “Most of these people were English-speaking people. The first homes that they built were very crude. Most were built out of logs cut down in the forest - and not with saws like today - but cut with an adz and a cross-cut saw. “For instance, our home - the old part of the house that I live in - was built in 1749 and it seemed to be slipped down between the trees. They left trees all around it. Now this part of it was built as a rectory for the Episcopal Church. "It was built there by a man named Strother, and called Strother’s Chapel, and the section of the home that I live in was four little rooms - all log - and the circuit rider preacher would come and stay so many months and go on to another section. But this was his headquarters. Before the chapel was built, the congregation worshipped outside, under the oaks. Oaks were traditionally the trees associated with religious services.” The Dipper Oak “At that time. Queen Anne presented Strother's Chapel with a silver dipper. It would be very valuable now, but no one knows where it is. It hung on an oak tree. The tree is dead but still standing. It’s called the Dipper Oak. I’ve tried so hard to get someone to take a picture of the oak before it falls. You can see it better when the leaves are off the trees. "The other night when the wind was blowing, I thought, ‘Oh, the Dipper Oak's gone tonight.’ But it’s still there. "The chapel was torn down by the enemy, hauled several miles away and used as a shelter for their horses.” Early Homes “All homes that were built in those days were built, not for the scenery, but for convenience. They were built close to a spring. Now, when I say “close to a spring”, I mean the house was on a hill and the spring was at the bottom of the hill so you’d always have to climb down the hill and climb back up with a bucket of water. Everybody had spring houses and they kept the milk and butter and vegetables from one meal to the next there. You’d be surprised how cool and nice it did keep the milk and butter. After people started using wells, the perishables were suspended down inside the well with a rope. "The children were there ■ for nothing more than to run up and down the hill for a little bit of milk, a little bit of llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Do Your Spring Cleaning This Year with a New Vacuum from Mr. Sweeper 507 E.

My mother and grandmother never had recipes that didn't call for bits of cream and butter. Except coffee - I think that’s the only thing they didn’t put butter in. "Now of course the old houses had mouth-blown windowpanes and they had fireplaces. Most of them burned down because the fireplaces were just chinked with red clay and clay would dry up and fall out and fire would resjflt. So we had lots of fires in those days.” Houses Improved “Now as houses began to get better, if you lived in a section with red clay you could make your house out of brick and whenever you see an old house of brick the brick was made on the grounds close by. So we had brick houses - that was an improvement over the log huts. If you lived close to where there was stone you had stone homes - beautiful stone homes. Then you had outbuildings: smoke houses, hen houses, and barns. ‘‘All homes were selfsufficient. They made their own furniture, and they made their own feather beds - everybody raised geese - and they would pluck the geese and make the pillows artd also mattresses out of the down. Of course they made quilts - and the square shop nails. They put their own homes together. Neighbors exchanged work: no money was exchanged. Most of the houses had shingles and they were made on the place. Most of the sidewalks were made out of stone or brick, or crushed white stone. “They'd heat the stone in a fire until it got real hot and then they’d drop it in cold water and beat it with a hammer. I have a hammer at home spread out like a mop that was left on the place. I use it for a door stop." Pioneer Roada “The roads were laid off from Indian trails and the trails ,made by animals. You’ll notice now if you go through a field that the cattle go around the hills instead of over them. Our roads were very crooked: they followed the river beds because the rivers, of course, were on the lowest level, and you forded the river from one side to the other when to stay on the same side would require too much grading. The road going from Sperryville to Luray - when they widened it' they followed the animal trails completely. That whole long trail was made by deer going to salt lick near Roanoke for salt. “Now, going the three miles from town (Washington) to my home you crossed the river seven times. So you can imagine how many times you couldn’t travel a rbad due to a river that would not be forded. Rivers were larger then than they are now because we had more woodland, and the rivers were fed constantly by the water that was held back by the trees on the mountain side.

Ruritans Hear Reasons For Optimism The Amissville Ruritan Club held its monthly meeting on April 21, at the Amissville Baptist Church. The guest speaker was Marvin Bates, from County Farm Service in Culpeper. Mr. Bates emphasized the need to look positively and optimistically toward the future of this nation. In doing so he noted 10 reasons for positive views: 1. The current downward trend in the annual inflation rate. 2. A fall in the Producer Price Index over the past two months. 3. An increase of 12 percent in housing starts for February 1982, compared to the same month in 1981. 4. An increase of 2 percent in retail sales in February, 1982, compared to January of this year. 5. 57 percent of the working age population presently employed compared to the all time high of 59 r percent in 1979. 6. Increase in employment for 46 percent of American industries in February 1982. 7. Rise in income for wages and salaries in February 1982. 8. A downward trend in interest rates. 9. The current decline in gasoline prices. 10. Positive marketing of farm products as seen by the increase in cattle, hog and corn prices. Mr. Bates pointed out that there is a positive way to view the U. S. economy rather than the “doom and gt . i ” attitude that many hole Another optimistic note came from Ruritan H. R. Terhune. He reported positive responses from Representative J. Kenneth Robinson and G. J.

The fire was considered officially under control by 3:00 a.m. Monday morning but Baynes said that he was "very glad to see the rain” that effectively quenched the remaining embers. Baynes said that he and other park rangers were still checking the area and would continue to do so. Meanwhile, the ranger emphasized the importance of obeying park regulations concerning use of the trails and building of fires. "We can’t describe the toll in wildlife and scenery." he said.

Preliminary Budget Up 16% From This Year (Continued from Page 1) school board members, only one other person attended and spoke. “The people hold you responsible for what the school board does,” Sharon Kilpatrick told the supervisors, noting that it’s been two years since county voters overwhelmingly endorsed a change from school board appointment by electoral trustees to appointment by the board of supervisors. She pointed out that there are no funds in the proposed 1982-83 budget for improvements to the high school. In addition, she said, the school board recently made a "very unpopular” decision to demote high school principal Dennis Wingfield from the post he’s held for the past 16 years. More For Lawyer* While the proposed budget shows nothing for contractual architectural services for the long overdue high school building program, it does include a steadily increasing figure for attorney’s fees, Kilpatrick continued. These fees are paid to the school board’s special counsel although legal advice is available at no charge from the commonwealth’s attorney, she said. The board’s hired lawyer, Phillip Stone of Harrisonburg, “spent hours (at the last school board meeting) helping them demote Mr. Wingfield," she said. In addition. Stone is consulted frequently on special education matters with the thrust “not on how economically we can meet the needs of special education children but how we can best get out of meeting those needs,” she charged. She seconded a request made two weeks ago by school board chairman Beverly Massie that the supevisors act as soon as possible to approve a salary scale for the coming year so recruitment of new teachers can begin. “It looks like we're going to need a lot (of new teachers),’’ Kilpatrick added. She also asked that necessary approvals for the new combination bus shoplui) tuff lull (aim ATTENTION TAXPAYER The Rappahannock County Equalization Board Will sit for hearings for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments on Monday, May 10th from 9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Appointments may be made by calling the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at 675-3513 Eileen M. Day, Secretary central office be granted as early as possible so construction can start. “It will be a miracle if that building is ready when students return to school in August.” Noting that the owner of the current rented offices has set a deadline for June 30 for school personnel to be out, Kilpatrick said that space in the schools could be used only during the summer recess. Ready In 12 Weeks Massie, who attended Monday's meeting with superintendent Robert Estabrook, assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik, bookkeeper Faye Suddoth and board member Robert Eastham, assured the supervisors that the new combination office and garage can be erected in six to eight weeks. Using 12 weeks as a target date for completion, She said she could “certainly feel comfortable that we won’t be met in the hall by children coming in and filing cabinets going out.” Estabrook added that the staff at Piedmont Vocational Technical School is currently working on specifications for wiring, plumbing, heating and other components which will be contracted out separately from the building itself. Once the specifications are completed and approved by the school board at its May meeting, then bids can be solicited, he said. Asked by supervisors H. B. Wood about unexpended funds expected in the current school budget, the superintendent reported that surplus totaled $243,000 at the end of February but that he anticipated a good portion of that money would be used prior to July 1. “We do anticipate a margin but I hesitate to speculate on how much it will be.” Estabrook added that with funds from the bus shop condemnation suit, he projected that the surplus would be sufficient ($45,000 to $46,000) to cover the cost of building the combination office-garage. Title I director Jerry Lysik also assured the supervisors that carry-over funds accumulated by Rappahannock for that federally supported program are sufficient to finance Title 1 operations for another year no matter what Congress eventually decides to do with its 1982-83 budget. Asked by supervisors Charles Estes if she still endorsed the proposed 198283 school budget, chairman Massie answered yes, noting that the entire board had voted approval for the $2.5 million expenditure. New Position After the supervisors agreed to exercise their right to approve the school budget by categories rather than ‘‘bottom line,” chairman Dick Latham told the school board that a decision will be reached by next Monday, May 3, on the salary scale for teachers. He also asked for elaboration on the new position, director of special services, included in the proposed budget. Lysik now devotes 70 percent of his time to special education as the result of the "very sudden, very hard impact of special education laws,” Estabrook said. “They came fast and they came very expensive." The new director would assume responsibility for the “nuts and bolts” operation of special education as well as Title I programs, he said, leaving Lysik more time for "instructional concerns.” Massie noted that the board has received several directives on special education in the past two weeks from the State Department of Education, emphasizing that special education needs must be documented. "Homework must be done at the divisional level...We expect to give these services but we have to follow the mandates from the state in order to get reimbursement.” Lysik detailed the time frame involved from the point a referral for special education services is received through screening committee meetings and eligibility meetings which involve medical, psychological and sociological evaluations and educational assessment. “Special education is coming along very nicely at the elementary level,” he said. No Room At RCHS Lysik added, however, that as the children progress in school, work has to be done at RCHS to expand services. “We will have very extensive needs at the high school for added programing which will require space that I don’t see as available now,” he said, noting that 135 children are currently served by both schools in special education classes. In dealing with each special education case, evaluation criteria and timetables must be met or the 'school board—and ultimately the county—face the potential of legal action by parents, Lysik warned. Remember Mother’s Day May 9th Order Early for Mother from kTHE FLOWER CENTER1 636-1971 in Front Royal “We have no option in this matter. We must do it.” Eastham voiced his support as well for the new position, maintaining that the additional administrator will enable Estabrook and Lysik to visit every classroom, evaluate all teachers and train principals and assistant principals to take over evaluation duties. The supervisors gave no indication on Monday as to what they will do with the instructional category which includes teacher salaries, proposed by the school board to be increased by 8.5 percent. In his presentation of the draft budget for all county operations, Cox reported that most of the localities he knows of are giving salary increases of four to eight percent. Cox noted that the supervisors are scheduled to act on the school budget next Monday, May 3. "As far as local funds are concerned, that’s it,” remarked Wood. "That's the budget,” the accountant agreed. (Cox later determined that of the total S3.4 million preliminary county budget, $1.5 million must come from local sources.) Property At $2 Million Under the new 100 percent fair market value assessments, worth of the county’s real estate listed on the first page of the proposed budget form skyrocketed from 511,850,000 in 1981 to $200,000,000 this year. Cox noted that the figure takes into account lower values for property receiving use value taxation, adding that he also lowered the total by five percent to offset any changes i—AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave. Front Royal.

KtAtTQg I TAX-FREE CASH AVAILABLE l nere is no Detter source of cash than the equity (cash value) built up in your own home or investment property. Take the case of the Campbells who purchased a 10-unit apartment house about five years ago for $100,000 with a mortgage of $80,000. As the rent checks came in each month, some went for running the building and some went toward paying off the principal and interest. They needed $10,000 for college expenses and to redecorate their own home. The equity in their property investment was the answer. Their money had grown as the property increased in value over the five years plus by the amount they had paid off me mortgage. Mr. Campbell found that his own bank would refinance the mortgage for $90,000 ($20,000 over their balance due). So. with the check for $20,000 in hand, the Campbells not only had the $10,000 they needed but an extra $10,000 to reinvest in another property. And all of the cash was tax-free because there was no sale involved and no gain to report. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

On this day they will have the opportunity to re-elect their entire governing body. Present council members have nearly completed a twoyear term characterized by common sense, mutual respect, and some real progress in dealing with the issues facing this little town. Since the council was elected for a second term in 1980, they have provided protection for this historic and beautiful village, adopting the town's first comprehensive plan and its first subdivision ordinance. Offering this protection to town residents meant hours of explanation and tedious review: trying to catch in concrete legal terms the intangible values that make Washington work as a community. Compliance with bureaucratic requirements and acknowledgement of the changing paperwork demands of local government has been tempered with a down-to-earth, practical approach to solving town problems. When postal rates went up. council considered having the water bills delivered by the meter reader. When a town resident creates an eyesore or a hazard, a tactful work from a council member is usually enough to solve the problem. Perhaps big-city governments would snicker at the" small economies, the personal approach. But it works here. When an antiquated water system and a full year of dry weather created a severe water shortage for the town, an exhausted council met with a room full of angry and worried residents, many of whose financial survival depended on the speedy restoration of water. Throughout the hectic month of January 1981, council members explored every possibility. There were no committees, no “study groups”, no task forces to help. Mainly it was the mayor and council themselves, working long days to find a temporary solution, checking on housebound neighbors, reaching - months later - the long term goal of a more-than-adequate water supply for the town. No, it's not for the money. Council members are paid $5.00 a month. And it’s certainly not for the prestige. Except for events that anger the townspeople, a lone reporter is the only one attending the monthly meetings. The present council is running unopposed, although there is an opportunity to write in a candidate. If you are a town resident and a registered voter, next Tuesday you may express your satisfaction with or disapproval of what the council has done. If you have a disagreement with a candidate, write in the willing candidate of your choice. If you support them all, then say so with your vote. But do them the courtesy of voting in the Washington town elections next Tuesday. Robb Names Baumgardner To Lab Advisory Board Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas K. Baumgardner has been nominated by Virginia Governor Charles S. Robb to serve as a member of the Virginia Laboratory Services Advisory Board. Virginia law provides that the Laboratory Services Advisory Board shall consist of fourteen members, one of whom shall be a "representative of the Commonwealth Attorneys of Virginia.” The appointment, which will run until the expiration of Robb’s term in 1985, requires confirmation by the General Assembly. In announcing his nomination of Baumgardner, Robb noted that he takes “great pride in the calibre of men and women who serve our Commonwealth..." and expressed his hope that the Commonwealth Attorney’s "committment of time and energy will be as rewarding to you personally as it is beneficial to Virginia." Baumgardner, who has served as Commonwealth Attorney since 1980. is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and the University of Virginia Law School.

Support the Letters To The Editor Fair And Good To the editor: I am a former resident of Rappahannock County, though I have moved I have continued to read your newspaper. For the last several weeks I have read something which causes me great concern and grief. I feel compelled at this time to respond. The tragic issue which causes me this remorse is the recent decision to demote Mr. Dennis Wingfield. The purpose of my letter is neither to criticize nor to advise, but to tell what I think about a dear friend. I can comment on a man for whom I have great respect. I know Dennis Wingfield as a principal, for I attended and graduated from RCHS. Later I was a substitute teacher for the high school, and I knew him as a supervisor. Through all these times 1 knew him as a friend. It was my belief then as it is my belief now that Dennis Wingfield is a fair and good man from any perspective. There may be those individuals who believe that Mr. Wingfield and those things for which he stands are defeated, but I rather believe that they are in error. I see an immense victory. The editorials in this paper supporting this man illustrate Not Listening To the editor: It is good to know that there is harmony among the members of the school board. The sad part of it is that they are so insensitive and out of touch with the real needs and wishes of the people of the county whom they are appointed to serve and who care about our schools and the future of our young people. Quality requires space, faculty, equipment and a more varied curriculum and all this costs money. There is an element in this county whose main interest is to keep taxes low. We can't have it both ways. This situation has a solution but it isn’t in lower taxes, nor in the rich people paying tuition to send their children to private schools, nor in some groups setting up schools in their churches. The public school system is a democratic institution and if we are to have quality education we have to be willing to pay for it. No matter who the principals of our schools are, they can’t do their best until these facts are realized and our schoolsi are supported to that extent. Some of our young people don’t want to pick apples, shovel manure for rich landowners or sew blouses. I fail to understand how ignoring the demonstrated feelings of the tax payers of the county, firing Dr. Bloomer and now Mr. Wingfield will accomplish our goal of quality education here. When are the elected and appointed boards in this county going to listen to the people who live in the county and pay taxes and are affected by their decisions? DORIS B. DONALD that his work has not gone unnoticed. This is a victory on a very high level—a level on which those people who know anything about courage, honor, and dignity will comprehend. Bravo! Dennis Wingfield, for you stand for something good amidst a world which has alway, been too full of deceit an-, corruption. Your endeavors have not faded away. 1 believe Mr. Wingfield to be a man with important convictions. Finally, I would like to address the issue of quality education which has been brought up in the editorials. I am presently a student at James Madison University with my major in Russian Studies and the Russian language. I do not feel that 1 wras insufficiently prepared for higher education. Of course, one can never be overprepared in the ongoing process of learning. Recently, I was invited to become a member of Dobro Slovo, the National Slavic Honor Society, and I have been on the Dean's List at the University. I do not feel entirely ignorant for having come from RCHS. Quality education takes work and commitment on the part of the student as well as the school and the administration. Mr. Wingfield always gave me encouragement, and we remain friends today. 1 now would like to say to Dennis Wingfield thank you. I know Rappahannock also wishes to thank you. TERRY L. WOODWARD Harrisonburg Other Champs To the editor: The champion sassafras tree is a triumph for the county but as an historian, I must correct the "News” that it is a 'first' for the county. Mr. C. E. Johnson tells me that a magnificent oak stood in the yard of his former residence in Sperryville. This was a champion tree, although he didn’t remember the species of oak. A subsequent owner had the tree removed because it harbored black snakes in its great hollow center. The WPA surveys of the 1930's mention that the huge sycamore in front of Hillsboro, outside of Flint Hill, was a state champion before losing its top in a storm. This grand wreck of a tree still stands with its great trunk and one long beautiful white limb reaching out to its former glory.

Childhood In Dance— By Lanise Waites and Sara Adams “A Length of Childhood,” the latest offering of original dance theater by Rappahannock's Last Minute Wood Company under the direction of Sally Nash, was presented Saturday evening at the Rappahannock Elementary School to a receptive and responsive hometown audience. The company succeeded in capturing the dreamlike quality of a retrospective view of childhood. Eight distinctive sections of dance provided the forum for the biographical study of a younger sister’s sometimes painful growing up and growing old, the story told through her interactions with , her sister, her parents and her community. The symbology is available for translation for those who feel they must, yet the appeal of this production lay in its utter accessiblity. Both the dance and its congruent music were presented to merely experience and enjoy the unexpected addition of the spoken word by the dancers lent a note of whimsical humor to the piece and created an intimacy with the audience. The performers were offered the challenge of letting their own feelings and perceptions evolve into their unique roles. They spent a year at the task of merging their independent improvisational work into the selection and refinement that we see in this production. Sally Nash feels it is rare for a choreographer to find dancers who are willing to devote themselves to the investigative part of the creative process. It was a treat as an audience to see such a level of professional execution available to us on a local level. It would be difficult to critique all the performers and their offerings, yet each is worthy of an individual r review if space allowed. It is in large measure the nature of the piece to feel the integrative result rather than each individual effort. Of particular note was the performance of Nan Reddick as the mother coaxing her small children to eat and dress properly. The audience burst into spontaneouslaughter as she expressed the ambivalent, yet humorous, feelings toward parenthood shared by us all. Cathy Kiley was oarticularly effective and generated a dreamlike translucency as the gentle ageing woman reflecting back over her life. Jeanne Drevas was representational as the energy incarnate member of the community, building her teepee dwelling in a masterful display of dexterity and strength through dance.

An hour and a half and several hundred words later, seventh grader Willie Arias was standing alone, the best speller in Rappahannock. Friday's spelling bee was the final round in a tournament that began in homerooms of grades four through seven. The three best spellers in each class won the opportunity to try their skills on a National Spelling Bee list read off by principal Maggie Piper and a panel of teachers at the judges table. The competition featured all the elements of high drama. A hushed audience (except for occasional wigglers and squirmers) watched in the darkened auditorium as the contestants came one at a time to the microphone. Each mis-spelling met with a chorus of “ohs” and “ahs” from the crowd. The tension mounted as empty seats began to outnumber occupied seats on the brightly lit stage. It was a study in styles. A few of the spellers sounded out with absolute assurance, rattling off letters in staccato, machine gun fire bursts. Some squeezed out their words a letter at a time, .oices rising in a questioning guess. Kids marched to the microphone like convicted criminals going to the gallows, hands clasped tightly at their breasts, and then raced back to their seats after they won a reprieve with a correct spelling. Othe . sauntered to the front of the stage with wide grins and arms swinging easily at their sides. Some grabbed their hearts when Mrs. Piper's ‘uh huh’ signaled that they’d made it through another round. Some just shrugged casually when an incorrect try sent them down from the stage. 1 ne "killer” words seem to come in bunches. Four kids in a row joined the audience after missing “ceaselessly,” "pennant,” “blanching” and “radically." Other stumpers were "knickers,” "abut," “tanA Son Gene and Tinker Lyman of Washington announce the birth of a son Lars Anderson on April 26 at Fauquier Hospital.

Teresa missed “scoundrel” but then won a second chance when Willie erred on the same word. The suspense built as both missed "temperance.” And then came “homonym." Teresa followed the “h” with a "y”. She immediately realized her mistake but it was too late. The judges ruled she couldn’t correct her try in the middle of the word. An expectant hush settled over the gym auditorium as Willie worked his way through without a hitch. It wasn't over yet—he still had to spell the next word on the list correctly. But Willie was all smiles when he heard Mrs. Piper read off his final challenge. His fans in the crowd were just as confident. Their applause came right on the heels on the final “n" in ‘‘kindergarten" as he spelled his way to the championship. — Rappahannock New* Pholo/T.

Career Day is held to give interested students a chance to question representatives from various occupations on the training and day to day performance necessary for their careers. Classes Stage Mock Assembly RCHS government classes completed a mock assembly last week where each individual student introduced a legislative proposal in hopes of turning their proposal into “law”. Debate on the floor of the assembly was strong as the groups considered the issues of abortion, gun control, minimum wage, capital punishment, and laws against the abuse of the elderly in nursing homes. Proposals that passed the assembly included: —To provide that all private dwellings be equipped with smoke detectors —To allow prayer in public schools (not mandatory) —To provide that all school board members be elected rather than appointed —To repeal Article V of the Constitution and change the methods of amending the Constitution —To establish registration of all guns —To lower the current highway speed limit from 55 to 50. —To increase education appropriations by decreasing defense spending Sixty-four percent of the public gets a newspaper home-delivered on weekdays and 56 percent on Sundays. Among those proposals which were defeated either by committee or by the floor of the assembly included: —A Bill to compensate crime victims —A Special Resolution to change the Executive’s term of office from four to six years —A Bill to place a freeze on gas and crude oil prices —A Bill to raise the highway speed limit While the assembly resembled the National Senate in rules and procedures, many bills which were introduced were concerns at the state level, such as lowering the drinking age The Aw Parsley <55* Sprig T featuring Italian Foods Lunch Daily 11:30-3:00 Monday-Saturday Open Friday and Saturday Evenings 5:30-9:30 209 Main in Front Royal 635-8661 to 18.

Dr. Banks commenced running three years ago and several months ago he placed 38 in approximately 3.000 entries at the Richmond Marathon. He says that running was the answer in finding an exercise he could do on a continual, consistent basis. He now spends about two hours a day running. Banks believes there is therpeutic value in running and that runners deprived of such exercise may sutler a wave of depression. "There are chemicals in the brain that govern our mood and physical exercise is a potent stimulas in the production of these chemicals," he says. authorized dealer The Rappahannock News now offers a full line of area topographic maps - the latest available from the U.

"I wanted to be a real part of the town.” Taylor Updike, a retired carpenter, is another Washington native who has served on previous councils. He's only missed one meeting in the six years of his most recent term. “I’ve been interested in improving the town,” Updike said. Town treasurer Bradford Fisher is seeking to retain the position that he's held for four years. Fisher, head chemist for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, has lived here eight years. He said that, although the job of treasurer is demanding, "It’s a necessary job and 1 feel qualified to help the community in this way.” Fisher is a member of the town’s volunteer fire department and rescue squad, a Rappahannock Chorus member, and a member of the choir at Trinity Episcopal Church. Dorothy Hawkins is competing a 32-year stretch of service on the town council. She was born here, in the structure that now houses the museum.

Hutrhinaon COMPARING PLANTING blueprints with the grounds at the Historical Society building last week, Helen Holschuh, president of the Historical Society, (left) and Florence Nordone, president of the Garden Club, discussed landscaping plans with Flint Hill architect William Hoare. Budget Presented (Continued from Page 3) noted, however, that the major portion of the increase comes from 6V2 new positions, “presumably all state money" since law enforcement salaries are paid by the State Compensation Board. The new slots include a full-time secretary ($8,500), two deputies ($11,195 each) and four dispatchers ($32,000 total). The compensation board awarded the sheriff the same ten percent pay increase given to other constitutional officers bringing his salary from $20,250 to $22,275. Increases for three current deputies and the correctional officers . are also approximately ten percent as listed in the preliminary budget. The only personnel decrease comes in the appropriation for part-time deputies which drops from $11,195 to $7,488. The sheriff’s proposed budget also allows (1) $7,095 for motor vehicles and equipment which covers one additional police cruiser and (2) $10,000 for architectural fees on jail renovation. Total for the board of supervisors on the preliminary budget is $15,845, down $10,825 from the current year due to a drop in allocation for legal fees, according to Cox. Budget requests from the commissioner of revenue’s office reflect an increase of approximately 18 percent, up from $47,077 to a proposed $55,988. The accountant attributed the rise to a new part-time position listed at $8,000. In addition, commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin received a ten percent pay hike from the State Compensation, pushing her salary to $22,522. Cox dropped the $5,000 allocation for board of assessors from the preliminary budget. “And if we have to have a new assessment, we can plug something back in there,” he joked, referring to the county’s recent difficulties with its reassessment, separate story). The treasurer’s budget requests show a $6,182 increase over the current year, Cox said, attributing the increase to the ten percent pay hike awarded by the compensation board (bringing Frances Foster’s salary to $22,522) and the rise in fringe benefits with accompanies any uppage in pay. The auditor gave the same explanation for the $5,285 increase for the commonwealth’s attorney’s office. As with the other constitutional officers, Douglas Baumgardner’s salary was upped ten percent by the compensation board, from $18,900 to $20,790. Reviewing other budget highlights, Cox reported that he put in $60,000 for garbage collection, noting that a new collection and disposal contract must be negotiated at the end of the current fiscal year. With no new projects planned in courthouse or office renovations, maintenance of buildings and grounds shows a decrease of $24,000, the accountant pointed out. In addition to putting the tax rate on real estate at 40 cents per $100 to support the preliminary budget. Cox listed the rate on personal property at $5.60 but with an assessment ratio of 40 percent rather than 100 percent. (Personal property taxes in Rappahannock are assessed on' on licensed motor vehicles.) Surplus Higher The accountant had one piece of budgetary good news for the supervisors. “There’s more surplus than projected (a year ago).” he reported, estimating that the July 1. 1982. balance will be $500,000. “And that’s probably conservative," Cox added. It may be advisable to maintain a higher surplus balance if the decision is made to embark upon a building expansion program at the high school, he said. “Otherwise, it’s about twice as much as needed in Rappahannock County.” In the preliminary draft of the 1982-83 budget, Cox projects a surplus balance of $360,868 for June 30, 1983, drawing approximately $140,000 in surplus funds for operating expenses of county government in the coming fiscal year. The supervisors scheduled a budget work session for 8 a.m. on May ^ prior to their regular monthly meeting. Subsequently, a synopsis of the proposed budget will be advertised for public hearing in June. I--1 A hummingbird can fly backwards, and even straight up and down. Triplett Milling Co.

Culpeper 825*0781 j rul-fYX Courthouse Landscaping Planned By Garden Club The Rappahannock County Garden Club is celebrating spring with a project to landscape the grounds around the Historical Society building and the area between the courthouse and the jail in a continuation of the club’s two year theme, “History in My Garden.” At the Garden Club’s meeting at the Historical Society headquarters last Wednesday, William 'J. K. Hoare, a landscape architect educated in England who now resides in Flint Hill, outlined plans for colorful and artistic placement of SPTA Plans Dome Raising Following career day on Saturday, May 1, parents are invited to help lower the dome at the elementary school playground, beginning at 2 p.m. The Rappahannock school board earlier approved the SPTA (Student-ParentTeacher Association) plan to remove the bottom rung of the geodesic dome in order to make it a safer piece of equipment for primary students. But muscle is needed on Saturday to get the job done. In other plans for the elementary schoolyard, students in the new gifted and talented program architecture seminar will design a section of the playground. The students will present their ideas for approval at the May 19 SPTA meeting. Also on the agenda for the May meeting is a benefit performance of the play, "The Sixth Juror,” by sixth graders to raise money for next year’s class trip to Williamsburg. A donation of $1 for adults and 50 cents for children is requested. The SPTA’s plant sale will continue every Friday at the elementary school from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. until the end of May. Orders may be placed in advance with Chris Edson, 937-5430, or Laurie Marshall at the school. Warm weather plants will be available. Plants will also be on sale at the May SPTA meeting. trees and shrubs designed to create the relaxed atmosphere of a village green. His recommendations include cedars, fringe trees, sugar maple, linden trees and oak, plus dogwood, liriope as ground cover, Gumpo azalea and Royal Beauty—all low maintenance plantings. More than 180 of Hoare’s design proposals are now completed projects; one of them the Pilgrim’s Garden at the National Cathedral in Washington, D. C. Hoare was born in Dorset, England, in 1945 and received his landscape diploma at Gloucestershire College in 1971. He worked for a year in Warrenton and in 1980, set up his own practice in Flint Hill. He and his wife, Ti Pinkerton Hoare of Charlottesville, have two children.

Cookies and punch were served in the downstairs room of the Historical Society’s building beside a crackling fire in the old fireplace.

Blue Ridge Jail Addition (Continued from Page 1) Commission, reported that the acting director of the Department of Corrections has been asked to forward to Rappahannock the necessary forms to be filled out requesting state support for construction and reimbursement. “Further we have checked with the Appropriations Committee staff and were told (hat reimbursement money is available." Leonard noted. Expensive Housing Elsewhere At Monday's presentation of the preliminary county budget for 1982-8.1, accountant Wally Cox told the supervisors that he had included an appropriation of $10,000 for architectural design work on jail renovation. Cox gave what might have been the final push necessary to convince the board that jail facilities should be provided in Rappahannock. "I don't know of any county that's paying more for jail costs because you’re getting no reimbursement back (in per prisoner day allocations from the state)," Cox said. He added that "it's possible to make a profit" from running a jail under state funding procedures if initial capital outlay expenses aren't included. (Ther sheriffs department has already received approval from the State Compensation Board for four dispatchers to run a county communications system. Sheriff Buntin reports that the Compensation Board, which pays all law enforcement salaries, will upgrade the new positions to correctional officers if the jail is reopened. The jailers will then also handle dispatch duties.) Cox recommended going ahead immediate) with architectural studies for the jail renovation and expansion so that Rappahannock will be ready to grab the first spot in line for jail construction funds. He added that there's no information yet on federal block grant money which may be available next year. “It might be best to get to work on a project that we need and want.” responded supervisor chairman J. . R. Latham. "We ought to initiate this thing and get started on it," agreed supervisor Charles Hstes. Buntin added that the Department of Corrections will send an engineer to Rappahannock to work with Gilkey and Baumgardner on architectural plans. He also reported that he had informed Tony Bottles, the Department of Correction's manager for the northern district, of the supervisors' preference for an addition as opposed to extensive renovation. "He said that building on to the end sounded like a real good idea." the sheriff told the board. Beth Dickerson Missionary To Speak Miss Beth Louise Dickerson will he guest speaker Thursday.
